Book Path Specifies a relative or absolute path to the document. Relative path are prefixed with the default root folder.

Note

  • To reduce network traffic, download device-specific documents from the web and place them into a folder of the form Device Specific Default Root + BOOKn path.

    For example:
    Default Root is: C:\tools\C51\Documents\
    Device Database entry is: BOOK0=DataSheets\C51_DEVICES\8051_User_Manual.pdf("8051 User Manual")

    Then, the document must be placed into the folder
    C:\tools\C51\Documents\DataSheets\C51_DEVICES\
